5G Radio Access Technology

Combine this course with course #42 "5G Radio Protocol
and Architecture" for the best learning effect. Please
note that participants attending both course #41 and course #42
will benefit from a reduced total course fee of EUR 3250 (EUR 2925
for early firm registrations).

We recommend you to submit your
preliminary or firm registration at least 4 weeks before course
start to ensure a seat on the course.

TECNOLOGY FOCUS

5G radio access is already a major activity in research and
standardization and is extensively discussed in the wireless
industry. It will provide new services like Enhanced Mobile
Broadband, Massive Machine Type Communications and Ultra-Reliable
and Low Latency Communications. New extreme requirements include
peak data rates of up to 20 Gbps in downlink / 10 Gbps in uplink
and latencies as low as 1 ms. This training will first discuss 5G
requirements, deployment scenarios and spectrum assumptions. Based
on the explanation of the shortcomings of LTE, the physical layer
principles of 5G will be introduced. Among others, this includes
discussion about the waveform, access scheme, duplex mode, frame
structure, coding and modulation. Advanced MIMO schemes, with the
use of extensive beam forming, are one essential component for 5G
and are explained in detail. This will also result in different
design of the various signals and procedures in up- and downlink.
The training will introduce how to cell search, synchronization and
broadcast signalling is done as well as random access. Resource
assignments are done quite differently to ensure ultra-low latency
as well as forward compatibility with future phases of 5G. Based on
its attendance in 3GPP, the trainer will also provide the latest
update of 5G standardisation in 3GPP.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND The course is suitable for engineers that already work
2G/3G or 4G systems and are interested in future evolution towards
5G. The course is held by a technical expert in the field that is
directly involved in 3GPP standardization and provides a hands on
up to date background information of the latest trends in this
industry. Therefore, it is suitable for all kind of engineers from
research, development, planning, deployment, regulation and
operation as well as executives, managers and system
architects.

Any pre-existing knowledge of LTE technology will deepen the
understanding of the technical details of 5G.

Said about the
course from previous participants: "The lecture style was perfect, handouts has very high
quality, very skilled and experienced lecturer."
" Good overview over all aspects of LTE: architecture,
technologies used, channels, layers."
" Diversity of discussions issues were very good, as well as
the organization of the course and the time frame."
